Why did cotton become a major staple after the war of 1812?
Cotton Plant

also How was the King Cotton connected to westward expansion?


All help is highly appreciated.


From what I can tell cotton became a major cash crop (not staple) after the War of 1812 because we had the cotton gin and England didn't, so they were eager to buy all we could supply them.

How was the rise of King Cotton connected to westward expansion?


well before cotton really did not allow for much profit simply bc it was difficult to separate the seeds from the fiber. ELi WHitney's invention changed everything
states simply without getting too detailed, the cotton "boom" increased the demand for slavery which in turn increased the demand for the expansion of slavery...the expansion of slavery ifs key when referring to King Cotton. it was profitable so why not have more of it? manifest destiny is whole other thing

why did cotton become the major staple scrop of the south after the war of 1812?
Cotton Plant



Because the invention of the Cotton gin by Eli Whitney made it possible to commercially market the short fiber Cotton that grew well in the American south.

That, coupled with the growth of the industrial revolution and the development of a huge clothe making industry in England which created an ever growing market for cotton made cotton plantations enormously profitable.


NB:anyone who says that the slavery was not the cause of the Civil war has neglected to read the statements made at the time by the very people who voted to secede. They made it crystal clear that slavery was the issue.

    It's safe to say that I'm constantly surrounded by fashion. Whether it's in a magazine I'm flipping through, a television program I'm watching, a website I'm surfing, or a store that I'm shopping in, I'm always an arm's length away from something fashionable. Needless to say, I've learned a lot about what I really like, and more importantly, what I don't like. Visible darting makes for a perfect fitting garment. Gray denim always looks more interesting, is more versatile than the traditional blue, adds instant drama and sophistication, and is incredibly easy to dress up. Outerwear that is fashion forward, durable, and well tailored will carry you from year to year, rather than just season to season and is actually a good investment for your staple wardrobe. Vintage leathers, especially jackets, shoes, and belts, seem to add a dash of character and charm, while also bringing warmth and elegance to any look. definitely applied to these jeans. Their whiskering is the perfect balance - not obvious, not unnoticeable, and not overdone either. The slim fit is perfect for the season (and quite honestly, is my ideal cut for year round wear - it's not overly tight, and it's definitely not baggy). And their distressing looks like something that would have happend naturally to your favourite jeans anyway - without the years and year of waiting. Needless to say, when I returned a few days later to look again at the denim, Chanell only had more great things to say about the jeans I thought I already had to have. (Side note - I think Tony and Chanell could sell ice to an Eskimo - they're always en pointe, know exactly what new styles have arrived, and are always thinking outside the box for both me and my clients.)
